 “It’s a Urban Dog’s Life”
Written by Kevin “The Food Dude” Roberts

I bought a puppy! Not just any puppy. I did my research, months upon months of looking and pondering and thinking, What would be the best dog suited to my urban lifestyle? I would walk down the street doing re-con type missions and seeing what other dogs people had. One guy had a great dane, a horse basically, and all I kept visualizing is coming home to my 1 bedroom apartment and seeing the utter destruction afflicted by that enormous dog. I saw a girl with a Chihuahua. Not sure why it yaps and shakes all the time, but probably not the manliest dog for me. I settled on a French Bulldog.

From what I’ve read, they are used to small apartments being from France and all, low maintenance and basically lazy. Now that’s my type of dog. I can go to work, travel and still have a life. But what they didn’t tell me was the constant crying, shitting and peeing I am now enduring on a constant basis. I call it the trifecta of doom. Then my breeder dropped a bomb-shell on my nomadic world. Stinky, my dogs new name, cant leave the apartment for another 3 weeks until she’s had her last Parvo shots. 3 weeks!?! Holy Mackeral, 3 weeks of crying, shitting and peeing. I need a drink.

I got to thinking, are there bars and restaurants or cool shops  in Downtown San Diego that are Stinky friendly? A place I can go just hang out and spend quality time with my pet without sitting on the couch all day? Here’s what I found:

East Village Tavern & Bowl
930 Market Street & 9th, East Village District
100 foot long patio, come enjoy your favorite drink or game with your pet

The Fleetwood

The City Council of San Diego proposed to have a vacant lot in the East Village District in Downtown San Diego as the spot for setting up a temporary winter homeless shelter. Downtown San Diego Condo and Loft homeowners, residents and business owners  stood up and expressed opposition.

The proposal was rejected on September 15th, 2009 after a 5-2 vote.  The San Diego City Council has encouraged San Diego City staff to give alternative places that might be more suitable and located outside Downtown San Diego by early next month.

The winter shelter was supposed to be located around Island Avenue, J Street and 15th Street. Please visit “East Village” to see a map of the area.

The East Village District has hosted the winter shelter the last two years and Councilman Kevin Faulconer, who represents Downtown said, “It’s unfair to keep burdening Downtown year after year with the shelter, especially when homelessness is a regional issue. There are other parts of the City that do need to help. This is a Citywide issue.”

To read the more about the “2010 Homeless Emergency Winter Shelter Program” please read the article “Council rejects shelter location” in the Union Tribune or  please visit the City of San Diego.

 

 

The new requirement that started July 30th, 2009 is part of the Mortgage Disclosure Improvement Act (MDIA) and implements new loan procedures to protect borrowers and foster greater transparency in mortgage lending.

If the Annual Percentage Rate on an initial Good Faith Estimate is no longer accurate at close of escrow, a lender must generally provide a residential borrower with a new disclosure and a three day right to rescind before consummating the loan. Realtors are forewarned that, because of this new three day waiting period, a lender’s failure to timely provide corrected disclosures has the potential of delaying funding of the loan and close of escrow.

According to ABC News, a market with cheap prices is not the only factor you should consider when you are thinking about investing in a new Downtown San Diego Condo, Loft or house. You should look for communities with a strong job market and stable housing values. Look for Cities with military bases, a strong tourism industry, state capitols and college towns because they are more “recession proof” according to Zilllow.

San Diego has a lot of what you would be looking for, the Naval Amphibious Base (NAB) Coronado, a lot of tourists and respectable schools and colleges like SDSU and UC San Diego and more. Are you thinking about investing in San Diego?

For questions about current market conditions or more information about condo and loft sales please go to the 92101 Urban Living website or call 619.677.2435 and press “0” followed by “7.” 92101 Urban Living can also be reached via email at info@92101urbanliving.com.

Early Tuesday morning the Star of India took sail and moved from its location at the Embarcadero in the Columbia District to a South Bay dry dock in National City for its yearly inspection and hull repairs.

The Maritime Museum is hoping to have the ship back by September 4th after blasting its iron hull with sand and water to prepare it for a coating that is expected to prevent it from rusting and to keep the Star of India from having to be painted every 10 years. The repairs will cost about $225,000 and the Maritime Museum is paying for it but they are hoping for sponsors to help with the cost. The museum says the work is expected to save about $4,000 per year.

The Star of India is the oldest operational tallest ship in the word  and The Maritime Museum says this dry dock is necessary to keep it that way.  To see the video of moving the ship please click here.

 

The San Diego City Council endorses plan to include the San Diego Unified School District to lease the sixth and seventh floors of the new Downtown San Diego Central Library located in the East Village/Ballpark District right next to Downtown San Diego Condos in Park Boulevard West and Park Boulevard East.

The City Council voted 5-3 to authorize the mayor’s office to enter into a letter of intent with the San Diego Unified School District. The plan would be for the Unified School District to pay $20 million dollars in bond money from voter approved Proposition to leave the two floors available for the School District that would serve about 400 students.

City Council members Donna Frye, Sherri Lightner and Carl Demaio are questioning the accuracy of the estimated $185 million total cost of the new Downtown San Diego Library.  Demaio says “We do not, let me repeat, we do not have the funds available to complete this project”. He says the City is at least $35 million short.

San Diego News Network says that “The City has raised about $37 million from private donations for the new library. A $20 million state grant is also on the table. The bulk of the remaining cost would come from redevelopment money.” There is a lot of work that is still to be done, but Counsilman Kevin Faulconer beleives they should take this to the next step.
